Youth as Solutions
Applications are currently closed. Check back in April 2025 to apply!
Your Leadership Team (consisting of at least two youth in grades 6-12 + an adult mentor from a public school, school district, government entity, or nonprofit ) applies to work in one of our impact areas. Once your team is accepted, you attend a virtual, live kickoff training and can begin recruiting additional students to join your team and support your project!
After kickoff, your team will begin following our service-learning IPARD process to investigate an issue in your community, plan a project to address the issue, take action, reflect with your team, and demonstrate your learning. Throughout the school year, your Leadership Team will attend monthly live, virtual sessions with our national group of changemakers to connect, collaborate, and learn and grow together. Sound like a lot? NYLC is here to support you along the way!
“The best thing about participating in this program was giving our young students the opportunity to lead. From identifying the problem, to working on finding a solution, our students were in the forefront of all the work they achieved. Our students not only developed as leaders, they also set an example and left systems in place for other leaders who are now eager to work on our next service learning project.”
